Are you curious about a specific education topic? Are you interested in learning
what research is out there, but you are not sure where to look? Regional Educational
Laboratory (REL) Midwest’s Ask A REL reference desk is the perfect place to start.
The reference desk provides referrals, references, and brief responses on your research-based
education questions.

These responses can be very valuable for the educators, parents, and stakeholders
who request them. For instance, REL Midwest recently received positive reactions
from a handful of Ask A REL requestors. Here is what a few of them had to say about
our resources and what they plan to do with them:

“The information is incredible. We will be using it to assess against our collective
impact work. I really appreciate the information.”

“Thanks so very much for these resources. You’ve unearthed some that I hadn’t and
there's much cross over. I deeply appreciate your work on this.”

“These will be fantastic to share! Thank you all for your work on the responses.”

“Thank you for the research references in response to my question. I will present
this information to our district ELA [English Language Arts] team as we make decisions
on best practices to implement in our core literacy instruction.”
